Expert Q & A Answers About paralysis and sex

I can't use my arms to position myself because of my disability, so I feel locked into a very passive role. I hate asking my partner to make all the moves. How can I become more active in the relationship myself?

My son is engaged to a 20-year-old young woman. She was in a car accident and in a coma for 60 days. She’s finally awake and is doing well mentally, but she’s paralyzed from the waist down. They are planning to get married as soon as she gets her strength and health back. She is a darling girl and we are so lucky to still have her with us, but I am wondering about her chances of having children and how her paralysis will affect their sexual relations? My son loves her very dearly and is willing to do whatever it takes to make her happy. I would appreciate it if you could help educate me on some of the things that they might face as a married couple. Thank you so much.
